Title: 2.5 ORBATS for 7 Core Nations are now up!
Post by: Ruckdog on June 21, 2017, 08:19:34 pm: So, we now have the ORBATS for the CoA, PE, EotBS, RoF, FSA, KoB, and RC! Anyone have a chance to look through them yet?

Once I know the new MARs and Generators, and how Specialist Groups work, other stuff might appeal.

Post by: McKInstry on June 29, 2017, 01:20:23 pm: I think the stats are still very much in flux. For example, I think the Ilka squid is still in the running for the aquatic assault MAR.
